11 directors come together

What happens when ten disparate styles of filmmaking are fused together and structured to create a larger style and story? X is a filmmaker’s journey through his past encounters with his 10 ex-girlfriends as he spends one surreal unforgettable night at a film festival after he meets a mysterious girl who intriguingly seems to have something to do with every woman in his life. Abhinav Shiv Tiwari (Oass), Anu Menon (London Paris New York), Hemant Gaba (Shuttlecock Boys), Pratim D. Gupta (Paanch Adhyay), Q (Gandu), Raja Sen (film critic), Rajshree Ojha (Aisha), Sandeep Mohan (Love, Wrinkle Free), Sudhish Kamath (Good Night Good Morning), Suparn Verma (Aatma) and Thiagarajan Kumararaja (Aaranya Kaandam) will write and direct individual segments as writer-director K (Rajat Kapoor) goes back in time as memories of his 10 ex-girlfriends haunt him over the course of one night. The filmmakers met in Mumbai last weekend to brainstorm and lock their individual segments after online interactions and exchange of over 300 mails for over six weeks. "What started out as just a random idea has blown into this big and brilliant exercise in collaboration of minds and exchange of ideas across genres," says Sudhish who was instrumental in getting the filmmakers together from everywhere - Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai. "In one film we are trying to mix these different textures that have made these directors win audiences from across the globe." 'X' is already into production (one of the segments has already been shot) and will come to a theatre near you later this year. Buy one filmmaker, get 10 free!
